Comments from Duff and Phelps yesterday that they were not in favour of changing the SPL voting system were intriguing. Kilmarnock chairman, Michael Johnston, was pretty blatant about his agenda when speaking to the BBC on Saturday, suggesting the actions of the Gang of 10 was a “pro-democracy movement” similar to the Arab Spring, saying:
“It might make it easier for the [Rangers] administrators to get whatever they are going to try to achieve whether it is a CVA or new company to be informed and re-joining the SPL and SFA.
“The support of the 10 clubs might be needed at some point.”
Too right the support of the other 10 clubs might be needed at some point if a new company is to join (not re-join, for goodness sake!) the SPL and SFA.
Back in October last year we predicted Rangers would be liquidated, a Newco would be formed and would be voted straight into the SPL, with only Celtic arguing the need to maintain sporting integrity. Everything we have heard since has reinforced this view.
The debate among the Gang of 10 has matured so far they see no issue in openly offering to support a Newco’s entry into the league in return for money (which we predicted earlier this month), mostly generated from Celtic fans, as it happens.
We await Johnston responding by sticking to his high-minded principles and telling any Newco they will not enjoy Kilmarnock’s support.
Duff and Phelps still have an enormous amount to achieve before they will even be in a position to apply for entry to the SPL on behalf of a Newco but if they do, they will surely offer the Gang of 10 a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. The Gang of 10 will take it. This debate is not about democracy, it’s about directors at clubs like Kilmarnock, who I believe now have debts of over £10m, finding a way to deal with their years of unchecked overspend.
The debate around St Mirren director, Ken McGeoch, would surely outrage sensibilities in any country in the world so I’m pleased his fellow directors have called for his resignation. In November last year McGeoch invited Rangers company secretary Gary Withey to a meeting at the St Mirren boardroom where he revealed player contract details.
St Mirren are up for sale and could be purchased for what previously amounted loose change at Ibrox; McGeoch met Withey to discuss him purchasing the club from his fellow directors and shareholders.
For a Rangers director, influence like that should be impossible to acquire.

Mate if it has come from where I think it has come from, and I hope it has, it won’t be the last by far.
Correct me if I’m wrong but was it not you who affected the introduction between our host and a southerly gentleman journalist?
Ten Men Won The League, 22:45
It’s a game changer.
Is THIS what OG is saying:
” I have seen an email which shows that Rangers knew that what they were doing with EBT`s.was wrong and they were deliberately avoiding paying tax. This will come to light on Friday.”
Is that about the strength of it?

Guys,
Apologies if this seems rude. 100% not the intention
Can anyone here vouch for o.g? The poster, not the info
I’m trying not to get excited due to the “dossier” saga never bearing fruit.
Again apologies.
TTTT

The source of the document … not from where I expected.
I was but a small cog that turned another cog
OG
that should have of course been ‘effected’, not to worry and don’t you let anybody intimidate you into saying anything that you might regret. A confidence is a confidence, I for one appreciate the heads up without trying to discredit the worth of what you say.
You have been right too many times previously.
I can wait till Monday if needs be and I hope the dam is about to burst.
O.G.
Dont get sucked into giving any more info out please.
Any Celtic Fan can look back, and get an idea, of what might be forthcoming.
Too many, want you to say too much, for either the wrong agenda, or because they are too excited.
Patience has, and always will be the key.
Thanks!
Jungle Jim,
cheers,soon you will have enough money
to buy the huns many times over

These ‘so called’ supporters forked out several hundred pounds the week before Christmas to follow and support Celtic in Europe.
Did you do that?

Very excited!! And wanting to avoid disappointment. No other agenda.
So, the St Johnstone game is sold out, is it? Will that get the same positive response from the Media as Rangers (RIP) got?
Jungle Jim, 22:49
”I have seen an email which shows that Rangers knew that what they were doing with EBT`s was wrong and they actively concealed the documents. And names are named.
This will come to light on Friday.”

Nae wonder the Royal Mail are charging 60p for a first class stamp with all these dodgy emails going about.
Mare thread for the sides needed

Indeed.
Friday is what is being aimed for.

From 1982 to 1998 I never missed a match at Ibrox but I stopped going because decisions against Celtic were getting worse and worse. If anything since I stopped going it’s got worse.
On Sunday Celtic fans paid £42 to see two sets of rules. Celtic were ref’d to the letter of the law, Rangers weren’t. Neil Lennon, and Neil Lennon alone seems to be the only man prepared to stand up for all of the Celtic community. For this he should receive no less that 100% backing from the Celtic fans.
Neil has been cheated at Ibrox for years. Remember the blatant penalty not given when he was chopped down in the box in from of the Copland Road end and Kenny Clark didn’t have the bottle or the will to give the correct decision.
To question Neil Lennon on this issue to to accept that Celtic FC is not entitled to the Fair Play rules.
When Neil Lennon speaks to the media he speaks for us all.
I would agree with you on the issue of some fans in Italy.
OG
Thank you very much. Now I will find sleep a willing companion! Good night all.

Sorry, but I dont think how much money you spend, gives you any right to speak on behalf of the whole Celtic Support, or do something, which might impact on the reputation of the club.
I respect and agree with the reasons for the banner, it was worthy of a protest, that is for sure. But the actual banner itself, bad idea. Just crazy.
JJ
You might be a bone wae a dug but do you fancy a wee cycle from Inverness to Glasgow via Fort William over 3 days.
Not arrange dates yet but JP up for it.
Thinking TKF and The Celtic Graves for fundraiser.
Be a weekend in summer.
Day 1 Inverness to Fort William 65 miles
Day 2 Fort William to Crianlarich 51 miles. (Could hire tipees to kip in overnight – between Tyndrum and Crianlarich)
Day 3 Crianlarich to Celtic Park 61 miles.
Round trip 177 miles.

Unfortunatley, the only way to avoid disappointment, is to not get excited about anything…….
